Comments
Florida came a Gator player’s not-smart play from contending for a national title last season. This season Dan Mullin and crew have among the lowest number of returning starters in the FBS (9). Meanwhile, the Gator’s Saturday opening opponent is among the top 10 teams in the nation in number of returning starters (20). Will that be enough for the Owls to possibly take down Florida? Probably not, Florida recruits much better than FAU and is better coached. Now, if Mullen can just keep his players from doing stupid things.
